Keisha Buchanan kicked out of the Sugababes

It has been revealed that Keisha Buchanan, Sugababes only remaining original member, has been sacked from the group, putting to bed rumours that Amelle Berrabah had quit the band.

An official statement released on the band’s website announced the new formation: “The current line-up of the Sugababes has disbanded.

“Heidi Range and AmelleBerrabah will continue as the Sugababes and will be joined by new member Jade Ewen.”

It added that 24-year-old Buchanan would continue to record for Island Records as a solo artist.

The singer, who is said to be devastated by the axe, conveyed her feelings via Twitter, she said: “Although it was not my choice to leave, it’s time to enter a new chapter in my life. I’ve had a great time and have achieved more than I ever thought I would.”

Addressing whispers of her rift with band-mate Berrabah, she continued: “Sometimes a breakdown in communication and lack of trust can result in many different things. There were no arguments, bullying or anything of that sort that would lead to this.”

Phew, with the ever-changing line-up, Sugababes are certainly giving Destiny’s Child a run for their money.
